Vitamin C in Korean skin care
Let's talk about the strongest antioxidant we know: vitamin C. What makes vitamin C so important in skin care?
It protects against harmful free radicals by neutralizing them, which in turn helps to reduce the visible signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots after sun damage and loss of ability to retain moisture. But the most notable benefit of vitamin C is its ability to brighten the face and reduce hyperpigmentation. It makes the skin smooth and gives you a radiant glow.
Vitamin C comes in several different forms, of which ascorbic acid is the most potent and the most researched, but is however very unstable and oxidizes easily in contact with air and sunlight. It therefore works best in combination with vitamin E, ferulic acid, vitamin B and hyaluronic acid. Vitamin E, C and ferulic acid are antioxidants and therefore want to help stabilize each other.
We therefore recommend using vitamin-C serum under the sunscreen, which is applied 15-30 minutes before you go out in the sun. Apply a generous layer to the skin as the last step in your skin care routine every morning. Repeat application throughout the day for continuous protection.
You can use vitamin C serums such as: It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector Blemish Catcher is a light serum enriched with vitamin C and green tea that brightens hyperpigmentation and inhibits uneven melanin production.
